A full moon occurs dec 21. The earth, sun and moon are in alignment, producing higher tidal ranges called a spring tide .
Dec 21-22, the tidal range will be dramatically increased in what is called a perigean spring tide.
The winter solstice is Dec 21 at 11:44 pm.
Moonrise is at 5:21 pm Dec 22 and sets at 7:09 am
Sunrise is at 7:22 am Dec 22 and sunset is at 4:55. Dawn at 6:20, Dark by 5:57
Venus and Mercurys will be overhead at approx 9 am and 11 am respectively, and will be visible before sunrise.
Mars (3:30 pm), Jupiter (7 pm) and Saturn (8:15 pm) are overhead later in the day should be visible at sunset.
The Tidebook Log doesn't say anything about any 133 year cycle....
Fair winds,
Judy B

Disclaimer (again): I hope this isn't a hoax or a non-event. I picked up
the item about the super bright full moon from an Ercoupe mail list and
can't vouch for its authenticity. Has anyone seen anything about it
elsewhere?
Does anyone know what time moonrise will be in the SF Bay area Dec. 22?
